White Thunder turned in a top effort in his first route race of the year this past Friday, running third in a non winners of two allowance event at Finger Lakes Racetrack. Under jockey Emanuel De Diego, White Thunder broke sharply from the two hole, then was allowed to settle along the rail as the horses raced into the first turn. White Thunder continued to stalk the pace setters down the back stretch and into the far turn while gaining slowly. As the field turned for home, White Thunder began to tire and was unable to sustain his rally. He earned the second highest speed figure of his life (over both turf and main track racing) in this event. White Thunder will undoubtedly improve next time out, as he proceeded to drink two full buckets of water after his race while cooling out, indicating a need for this race over the route of ground.
Trainer Jared Schoeneman plans on giving White Thunder two weeks rest before his next start, which will put him on target for a race sometime near Memorial Day. We are all very impressed with his latest effort and look forward to his next outing.
